I got married not too long ago. I'm a horrible cook. I saw this book and figured the recipes were easy enough that even someone like me who finds boiling water a challenge could cook. My husband loves the recipes, and I think they are delicious too. This book is worth its weight in gold! Amazon ships fast too. Love this book and love Amazon!

I have always liked using condensed soups as a base for sauces, casseroles and stews. It really cuts down on prep time. This book has lots of good ideas for family friendly dinners that are easy and affordable to make.

It's really tough to mess up these recipes because you're just adding a few things to a soup. Most of your flavor is coming from the can.

Loved this 3 in 1 cook book. Recipes are simple and very easy to follow. I especially love the slow cooker recipes. Perfect for someone who still wants home cooked meals with limited dinner prep time.

I love Campbell Soup so don't miss read the title of this review. I own Campbell M'm! M'm! Homemade in Minutes, Celebrations and Classic Recipes cook books. I got these 3 cook books from a lady when I worked at a supermarket that hated me eating TV Dinners. Being a single guy I couldn't cook or thought it was too hard. However these cook books taught me how to cook good meals simple and easy.

Campbell Soups also have the recipes on their site and with the books I learn how to cook. I mainly brought this book for the slow cooker selection. The first two parts basically have all the recipes my other Campbell Soup books have. The only thing new is the slow cooker selection.

If you own any other Campbell Soup cookbook you may want to pass on this one as you may already have the recipes. You can also go to their site and search for a recipe and print it out.

If you are new then this is a easy and simple book to teach you how to cook. The slow cooker selection has some good ideas.

Great ideas for quick and easy meals! Couldn't live without our slow cooker during the winter months and this book has some "SOUPER" ideas! :-) Well worth the money.

I love this book. The recipes are short and easy. Great for busy moms.

Wanted to purchase these cookbooks for our Granddaughter as we have had ours for a number of years and have really been impressed with the recipes. Amazon.com again proved to have the best deal we could find as well as having peace of mind in dealing with this company. The product was excellent and our granddaughter was thrilled to receive it.

A lot of these recipes aren't really recipes (especially the 4-ingredient section), but that's not a bad thing. More like ideas, for those of us who are not creative enough to think of these things on our own. Simple stuff like "Put this soup over chicken" or "Mix this soup with mashed potatoes". Kind of a semi-homemade vibe. Anyone looking for anything more is going to be disappointed. I am a newlywed who is just learning to cook and needs quick and easy dinners that I can make after work. And now that Campbell's offers a lot of low-fat and low-sodium varieties, you can substitute ingredients to make the recipes more healthy. The book itself is bigger and more substantial than I thought it would be. I feel like it's definitely a good value for the price. And as a very picky eater, I can see myself liking about 90% of these recipes. I'm going to hide this cookbook so that my husband thinks that I made it all from scratch!

I am not a very good cook, so I like shortcuts in my cooking. When I saw this book and its good ratings, I thought I'd give it a try ... especially the 4 ingredients or less section. So far, I am not overly thrilled with the dishes I have made. They are okay, but nothing great. For example, the Shortcut Stroganoff came out satisfactory, but my family prefers my usual "recipe" (Betty Crocker's Hamburger Helper using lean ground beef). Something that looked really tasty in the book photo and extremely easy to make were the Cheddar & Roasted Garlic Biscuits, the type that are served at a popular seafood restaurant chain. I tried to purchase the key ingredient, Swanson Seasoned Chicken Broth with Roasted Garlic, only to find out that the product had been discontinued. (Although I just purchased the book, it was published in 2007.) I, too, was hoping I would be able to give the book a 4 or 5 star rating, but the recipes fell short in my opinion.

I like to be able to go to my pantry and pull out the ingrediance that I need to creat a meal that my family will enjoy. With this cookbook I am able to do this. It is not fussy cooking I just have to make sure I have a variety of soups in stock as well as ground beef and chicken and I am ready to cook.
